What is Potential use of sludge from El Ferrol Bay (Chimbote, Peru) for the production of lipids in the culture of Scenedesmus acutus (Meyen, 1829) about?
Despite the extensive development of microalgae biotechnology, it still requires new methodologies to lower production costs, especially in the field of biofuel production. Therefore, innovative methods that facilitate operations and enable cost-effective production are important in driving this industry. In this study, we propose a new low-cost and easy-to-use procedure, addressed to the generation of a culture medium for __Scenedesmus acutus__. The medium was obtained by thermal reduction of a sludge sample from El Ferrol Bay (Chimbote, Peru), whereby we obtained an aqueous medium. Our results indicated that the aqueous medium incorporates all necessary nutrients for microalgae production; allowing a maximum biomass of 0.75 ± 0.07 g/L with 60% of the medium; while high lipids production (59.42 ± 6.16%) was achieved with 20%. Besides, we quantified, in the experimental medium and at the end of the cultures, the levels of inorganic nutrients such as ammonium, nitrites, nitrates, and phosphates; in addition to COD and TOC, which were significantly reduced (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{a
